Seasons

The men's basketball team played six games in late 1919 and early 1920, finishing with a record of 2–4. It was the first year for coach Paul G. Chandler, and the resumption of basketball at Kent State after the war years. No team had been fielded during the last two war year seasons.

Games were held in various locations, such as the atrium of the original Administration Building (known as Cartwright Hall since 2006), in the basement of the original heating plant, and in the local Congregational Church gymnasium, as a permanent gymnasium was not built on campus until 1925.[1][2][3][4]
